eljeque Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 My maid just showed up with 20 of these English pennies all between 1900 and 1920 Her friend's husband died, and her friend gave them to her. As there is not much of a market for these coins in Pattaya, or Thailand for that matter, I thought I would give them to an English friend and have him take them back to England and sell them for her. What is the best way to clean them and where would I find the cleaning solution? I have looked for prices / values on eBay, and they are not worth a lot, but it is a free bonus to my maid, so I want to do my best for her. Thanks for the assistance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jori Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Soak them in Coca Cola for a while,polish with HP sauce if well used ,but they are not worth anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredob43 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Your right there not worth much, A few pence at the most. Depend's on the quality. Dont, Dont, clean them as they will be worthless. I must have dozen's in the UK. Not even bothered to sell as cost more in fuel than Id get. Have a friend in Uk who's a numismatist. (coin dealer) and he dosent even want them for free. Best of luck, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davee58 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Agreed, Don't clean them. Do you have a 1933 penny? That might be worth a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil B Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Do not clean them... If any are valuable you will devalue them by cleaning, probable they are not worth much probably best bet is to see if there is a local jewellery maker who could do something with them. I have loads of pre Euro European coins that I have stashed away that I hope one day to get made into jewellery, Thailand's tourist areas are probably a good place to market them.
